15.“3019 Addition” Preliminary Plat (PID 07-119-23-14-0003) (City File No. 22-073). Scherber
and Associates applied for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Preliminary
Plat for a 66-acre property near County Road 30 and County Road 19. The land currently has
split zoning between Transition Rural Commercial and Rural Residential. The Comprehensive
Plan Amendment will shift the boundary location between the two land uses with the western
portion being rezoned as Rural Commercial. The project proposes 15 Rural Commercial lots
and 4 Rural Residential lots. The applicant requested that the item be withdrawn at this time
and plans to submit a concept plan in the near future.
16.“Hope Community Sketch Plat” (PID 11-119-23-14-0003) (City File No. 22-074). Brian

Benjamin submitted a concept plan for the property at the northwest corner of Stieg Road and
County Road 101. The request includes re-guiding the land to commercial to allow for
expansion of his commercial kennel business. The sketch plat also reflects 9 additional lots for
future commercial users on the property. The sketch plan will be reviewed by the Council at
the December 22nd meeting.
18.“Cook Lake Highland Planned Unit Development Amendment” (PID 25-119-23-14-0003)
(City File No. 22-076). JB Limited, LLC and Grace Communities submitted a PUD amendment
application for the memory care facility to be constructed as a part of Cook Lake Highlands.
The preliminary PUD development plan and plat originally requested a 32-unit building, but this
was reduced to 27 units for the final development plan. Since the final approvals, the memory
care facility does want to increase the number of units back up to the 32-unit preliminarily
approved. This item will be reviewed by the Council at the January 12, 2023 meeting.
